Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton in the second trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Jake Gyllenhaal, his new muscles and his what-country-is-that-from accent are back in the second trailer to the film PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME. This one actually doesn’t look that much different, but we get a slightly better idea of the story and of course, more shots of Jake G. in action. The film stars the aforementioned Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina in the film directed by Mike Newell. Jake is Prince Dastan who teams up with a beautiful Princess to stop an evil ruler from unleashing a devastating sandstorm that could destroy the earth.

As I’ve mentioned, the video game was one of my all time favorite Playstation 2 games and I like what I’ve seen so far from the film. The only question is still whether or not Jake Gyllenhaal can pull off the tough guy character and make us accept that accent. Kudos to anyone that can tell me what nationality that accent is supposed to be.
